Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for anxiety in adults
Deepen your understanding of the physiological and psychological underpinnings of anxiety through an integrated CBT approach.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders affecting Canadian adults. This training focuses on CBT for anxiety in adults. Recognizing that anxiety disorders have traditionally been conceptualized as separate entities, with numerous disorders and diagnostic categories reflected in DSM-5.
CBT has emerged as a gold standard in effectively treating anxiety disorders. It provides high efficacy and low rates of relapse prevention, resulting in numerous anxiety disorder–specific treatment manuals. Physiologically, anxiety, regardless of the specific diagnosis, is the activation of the “fight-or-flight” response, also known as the sympathetic nervous system.
This training will discuss the physiology of the anxiety system. It will outline an integrated CBT model to explain the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. This will use well-researched principles of behavioural conditioning and cognitive science. We will examine an integrated CBT for anxiety in adults treatment protocol that will be applicable to the vast majority of anxiety disorders.
